I think I need to upgrade the extractor on the 10/22.

I've never understood people that feel they need to upgrade what basically is a brand new gun. I have guns that are over 100 years old that work just fine with the original parts.

Well, this is an early 90's 10/22. It has a new barrel and it doesn't extract manually anymore. It does extract when fired...most of the time...?

Well, I guess they don't make them like they used to in the 1890's.

Maybe a new extractor spring or some polishing... the chamber is definately tighter on the new barrel and that is most of the issue.

No, they don't.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

No, they don't.

It's been a source of amazement to me as a C&R collector with the way these old guns were made, compared to modern military weapons.

 

[ancjr]

I've never seen any .22 made to rip the rim off on extraction.

Like, I can't dig this round out with my fingernail and I'm not going to use a screwdriver like an idiot. Best to take a cleaning rod or dowell from the other end...

Agree about the cleaning rod or dowel.

Hot chamber -> wax coated round -> chamber cools down -> stuck round. It's as simple as that.

Also explains why it extracts easy when firing.

So the moral of the story is, "Just keep shooting."
